JPED THE TRACK.
A b. & o. Train Goes Through
a Signal Tower.
1t Was Making Up Lost Time
as Usual.
Narrow Escape of Many of the
Passengers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Chicago
limited express on the Baltimore &
Ohio railway was completely wrecked
this morning at the junction of the
main line with the Metropolitan
branches, corner of First and H.
streets, northwest. The train was
twenty-five minutes late and was run
ming rapidly to make up as much time
as possible. The wreck is one of the
most thorough ever seen in this local.
ity, and it is marvellous that so few were
killed and injured. At 10 o'clock
the only one reported dead was
engineer Hamilton. Brosin, of Balti-
more. The sixteen injured are at the
Providence hospital and some are in a
very critical condition. AT the wreck
scene of confusion prevails. The en-
gine and express cars lie upon the en-
bankment, several feet above the track,
while the sleeping cars are strewn in
confusion, on their sides, completely
overturned and unroofed. In one in
stance the iron work of sleeper was
carried up into the second story of the
signal tower, through which a part of
the train passed, carrying destruc-
tion with it. One car is
partially embedded in the ruins OF
the signal tower, and workmen are re-
moving the debris to discover if any
more bodies are buried beneath the
bricks and lumber. The fireman of the
engine is said to be seriously injured
and it is reported one lady died
while being conveyed to her home
from the scene of the dis
aster. The injured were hurrledly
conveyed to the Providence hospital
where they are properly cared for
The accident was caused by the engine
jumping the track while going around
a sharp curve at the junction and the
rapid speed at which the train VISA
running, was sufficient to carry the
engine and cars through the signal
tower and land them on the embank
ment mentioned above.

A POINTED CONTRAST.

1t is fact that cannot be gainsaid that
no state or country, however rich in re-
sources or desirable on account Of aus
picious surroundings as 4 place of resi-
dence in other respects. can prosper and
grow in population Of the better class
where law is de6ed and order l. a mere
matter Of caprice. What Kansas Is to-
day is due to the enactment Of wise
and wholesome laws and their enforce
ment; laws for the protection Of the
weak and the poor as well as the strong
and rich in their rights Of property and
personal privileges. In the matter of
her educational institutional. her news
papers and magazines and other means
OF facilitating the acquisition Of knowI-
edge among the people. few Of even the
older states Of the Union equal Kansas.
As a result there IS as small per cent of
her population who cannot read and
write as the smallest: in fact 1t Is rare

In speaking of the recent demonstra-

was shown that there Were thousands Of
the old soldiers who were willing to share
that approbrium.
That paper refers in these remarks to
Jefferson Davis, and we believe this is
the expression Of an error generally en-
tertained by southern people, 1t cannot
be denied that in a general way the I'M
popularity Of a cause attaches to the men
who are put forward to represent that
cause. But it is a matter Of fact
that the northern people Go not
hate the men who fought
for the lost cause" They would hate
the cause but not the men who consci-
entiously contended for It. Neither Go
they attach approbrium to lIr. Davis.
There is a vast difference in the way in
which northern people regard Dir. Davis.
There is a vast difference in the way in
which northern people regard Jefferson
Davis and Guiteau. This difference is
owing to the fact that they attach ap-
probrium personally to the latter aud not
to the former. The northern people have
ever recognized whatever of worth be-
longs to southern people. John c.
Breckenridge was in very many
respects a typical southern man,
yet how often in the northern states do
we hear him commended as the man of
great ability and goodheart. The north
ern people hate secession and disunion,
but it is our solemn conviction that if
jefferson Davis, surrounded by manned
soldiers of the south and the relatives Of
those who gave their lives for what they
considered at that time right. had said
we fought for u unholy cause and knew
it to be such, he would
have everlastingly disgraced himself
and his comrades in the eyes Of northern
people. We are one people one, country,
and northern people would resent it were
any foreign people to make the charge
that the southern half of this country is
not made up of as brave, courageous peo-
pie as live on earth. Northern people
rather ike to be told that our Grant and
Sherman and Hancock met military
genius equal to any of former times in
the person Of Lee and johnson and
Jackson, and that our boys in
blue met ON southern battleGelds as brave
an army as ever marshaled on earth.
Disunion is.dead and buried in one COM
mon grave with sectional hatred. There
forever let them rest, unmarked and I'M
wept. The stars and stripes today be-
long as much to. the south as TO the
north. 1t is the banner Of a great nation

THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

The Republicaoc Of Sedgwick county
have a clear conception Of their duty to
the party and country and the intelligent,
faithful manner il which that duty IS
usually performed by them would seem
to render it work Of supererogation to
remind them that next Tuesday, the
eighth day Of November, is the day upon
which further test Of their loyalty and
faithfulness VIII be made at the polls;
the day upon which they viii have the
opportunity of electing to the Offices to
be filed the men composing the ticket
selected by the party in deliberate coun-
Gil; men who, as has been said oft and
repeatedly, are t. peers Of the best Cit
zens of this community and surpassed
by none in their special fitness for the
trusts to be conferred. There is no rea-
son why single one Of them
should be defeated, nor VIII there
come defeat to anyone, if each member
of the party but performs his simple
duty.
1t is not our purpose to criticise the per-
sonnet Of the Democratic ticket; in its
make up it represents the party that
selected it, and if it suits that party we've
no right to complain. It is enough that
it does not suit Republicans, because IN
their Judgment, in no sense does it come
up to the requirements OF the times; nor
can any Democrat be elected in SedS-
wick county except through the negli-
gence Of Republicans. Here centers the
issue, and it is to impress this fact upon
the minds Of Republicans that we call
their attention to it, # they desire that
their party shall retain control of the
county's affairs, retain its prestige Of sue
cess, they viii make it q matter Of bust
ness to go to the polls next Tuesday and
vote the ticket as it is.

rents. When, then, the ark was lifted up
and "went upon the fsce Of the waters, /"
it started due east, if it started from
| Charleston. Bishop Keener says:
ct would presently strike the Gulf
stream. Floating or that sea current, it
would take nortnerly direction until it
reached the fortieth parallel, and the n
would go due east, and, as many q help
less craft since, would come within sight
Of Spain and Africa. But those coasts
being submerged, there would be nothing
TO defect the current, but it would pass
over the pla' eaus Of Spain into the Medi-
terraneen, scr Iss the lower part of
Greece, then over the plains Of Asia Mi
nor, and, still holding the same parallel,
strike Mount Araret. The distance
FROM CHARLESTON TO MOUNT ARAFAT
is 1917 Of latitude, say S5l5 m les. The
time the srk was On the water was $50
days, or 5000 hours. OF Cape Hatteras
the Gulf stream has 6 velocity of two
miles an hour; this would leave very little
to be overcome, if anything, when we
allow for the uninterrupted flow which
the current then had"
1t is not likely, Bishop Keener thinks,
that animals would be landed in any other
than the latitude 10 which they were &C
customed, and they would determine the
direction or the srk's course. The psth-
way OF the ark, under this suppostlon,
had blessing in it. Between the
thirtieth and the fortieth parallels have
sprung up the great philosophers, war;
riors, statesmen, and discCverers of the
race, Including the Savior, st. Paul, St.
John and the churches OF Asia Minor.
Bishop Keener modestly remarks, in con-
clusion, that he will not lay stress upon
the fact that coy the providence of God
we find MethOdism begun a. Charleston
and Savannah in the first hymn book ever
published by Mr.. Wesley; also in the
Moravians, in Charles Wesley, and in the
lRbors Of Mr.. Whitfield" but mat "there
certainly would be g fitness in STARTING it
somewhere near the original site-Eden."
This is the latest theory as to the plsce
OF Paradise, and we need add but few
words in support of It's plausibility and
probability. 1t may be said, however, that
the views of the distinguished divine
whom we have quoted will not at ell sur
prise any one who lives in or near
Charleston. The modern Garden of
Eden is here. We know that very well,
and 1t is only natural to suppose that the
ancient garden was not far away. There
is no place like Charleston now, and the
accounts go to prove that there was in
those days no place like Eden. This is
one strong point in common, and it is
really not necessary to argue the matter
further. The burden of proof lies st last
upon those VINO would endeavcr to show
that there have been two E&ens, or, if
not so, then that the old one hes been re-
moved hsIf way around the globe, and we
cheerfully leave them to their difficult
